Digital transcription involves the dictation or recording of voice onto a digital recording device. The resulting digital audio is then played back for transcription. The advantage of digital transcription is the portability of the recording.
You can simply plug your digital recorder into your workstation or laptop and download the resulting files onto your computer. Once there you can e-mail it or transfer the file over the Internet.
Your secretarial staff no longer need to be in your location, as the voice recording is no longer dependent on physical media (i.e. dictation machine tapes). Many UK legal and medical organisations are switching to digital transcription because of the efficiencies and cost savings it provides.
The quality of the recordings can be much clearer and there is no tape or mechanical mechanisms to degrade.
In order to take advantage of our service you simply need to have a digital voice recorder. You can find more details of digital voice recorders via Google.
You need to make sure you have a broadband or Internet connection via your network for file transfer, as file transfer over modem will be slow. Finally make sure you have access to a Web Browser such as Internet Explorer (which we guess you have if you are seeing this page).
That's it. Sign up via the Digital Secretary enquiry form. We will set up your account and you are then ready to start transferring your audio files to us via your customer account. Alternative methods for transferring files can be used if required.
Our secretarial staff pick up files from your account, transcribe the document and we return the completed document in Word format (or other required format). We can return completed documents via your account on this web site or via e-mail if preferred.
Your confidential documents remain confidential and your privacy is respected. See our privacy and confidentiality policy for more details. We regularly carry out work where non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements are required.
